I’m comfortable with keeping my work projects in Asana for collaborative work.Īnother obstacle to overcome is that both parties must have their own copy of OmniFocus and willing to use it.
I’ve been in an office environment that uses Asana for shared tasks and projects. I’ve heard of folks using Anylist as a way to share shopping lists. Remember that v3.0 is not the final product. It’s on the roadmap so we’ll see it down the line. Task sharing didn’t make the cut for v3.0 for Mac or iOS. I know software development at this level is not easy, but how hard can it be to implement something like what ToDoist offers, where projects can be shared, and any given task can be assigned to another user.Ĭurious how others in my shoes have dealt with this problem? PLEASE OMNIGROUP, GIVE US SOME KIND OF COLLABORATIVE ABILITY IN OMNIFOCUS!! …but this feature is absent from the current iOS release (unless I’m missing something). But in each of our databases, that task can live wherever we want: so I can turn my task into its own project with a number of subtasks, while you might have that task as one step in a sequential project. While our tasks are linked, we can each see updates to the status of that specific task.
The idea is that I can send you a task (with its notes and attachments and due date) and propose that our tasks be linked, and you can choose whether to accept the link or not. There was lip service paid to collaboration in the 2018 Road Map published earlier this year:įor OmniFocus 3, we’re adding support for linking tasks between unrelated databases. I can only hope that after OF Mac 3 is released that OmniGroup will address this glaring omission, but I am not hopeful. I tried using ToDoist for the tasks that needed collaboration while keeping my main list in OmniFocus, but this is a complicated solution as running two different systems means twice as much to keep track of. I NEED to collaborate with my wife on various personal and business related issues, and with my teammates on business issues. I’ve been using OmniFocus since its very first release and incredibly frustrated with the continued lack of any collaboration feature.
